Informalidad partidaria y mediaciones entre dirigentes y militantes en México: los casos del PAN, el PRI, el PRD y MORENA.

Abstract

This article aims to demonstrate the informal logistics within the political parties in Mexico. It is understood as a mechanism of mediation between militants and leaders. Methodology: from a qualitative approach, the role of informality in the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), the National Action Party (PAN), the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), and the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) was explored. Results: informality was found to be of vital importance, in some cases, its absence is a sign of internal polarization (PAN); in other cases, it supports the existence of agreements beyond what is established in the Statutes (PRI). In a few more cases, the fractional reality of the organization (PRD) is shown. Conclusions: informality can illustrate the discretionary role of certain leadership, as well as the implementation of strategies that contravene electoral legislation in order to maintain an advantage over potential competitors (MORENA).
